so beautiful Carol ... and something that could be treasured for a very long time.I've seen some made out of vintage jewelry, pieces from the brides family or just collected pins, earrings etc. Haven't attempted it yet...I think I like yours better.

Oh I LOVE LOVE LOVE It!!! It is GORGEOUS!! and so very Timeless.. The colors you used are SO pretty and soft...I also LOVED how you used a Vintage Hanger it fits so perfectly with it.. So much better than a Dowel rod... I am sure little miss Dress form will keep a watchful eye over it.. :) Oh I almost forgot to wish you a VERY Happy New Year!!!!

The glitch that wouldn't let me post here seems to have been corrected simply by using the post "anonymous" for a couple of times. It has worked fo the other sites that I couldn't post on, too. FYI YEA I'm free again...

Caroll you are so talented, what did you do in your previous life? I am totally in awe of the things you. I look forward ever time I receive an email to see what you have done next. You fan from down underLarain

That bouquet is gorgeous! My niece is getting married in October & I told her all about these brooch bouquets and offered to make one for her. I couldn't get her to bite though, she's just not into the vintage thing.

Oh Carol! This is superb! The bouquet isnt beautiful, its Godly!!! I could get married every week if I had a dress and stunning bouquet like that! SO going to try to monkey you! Then again, I tried the flowers, but I guess I have the wrong material, because they seem to burn rather than just curl! Yours are just...wow

This bouquet is stunning I would love to display.The added pins were so beautiful.I so want to get one of those dress forms and decorate it is on my list of projects this year.thanks for the inspiration.

It's a bigger project than I expected!It's COLD and we have a tad of snow. Guess winter is here :(Warmly,deb

I see a number of comments have already said the words I want to use...stunning, gorgeous, beautiful. I've been thinking of trying this since I looked at your tutorial... now I really really want to try it, no doubt it will take me a number of tries before I get anything that looks like yours. Thank you so much for sharing.

So beautiful! I love this. Can't wait to show it to my daughter. She's not getting married but we both love vintage themed weddings. Hoping the trend sticks around when she is older. Such a unique bouquet!

Oh, Carol, you just made my heart skip a beat here! I LOVE this bouquet! And trust me, I've seen lots of vintage rhinestone/floral bouquets on pinterest lately. Yours tops them all! Just gorgeous!! It looks right at home and happy with you. I do hope your DIL will be able to use it in her wedding, tho! You did a very nice tutorial, too. Almost ALMOST make it look easy ~ but I know how time consuming it must have been. Btw, did you know that 13 is my lucky number?!?

OMGosh Carol, now I am even more super excited about your flower tutorial I keep posting on my blog! This is the most amazing flower to do all this with it! Thanks again for that tutorial. Your bouquet is just divine! xo Pam

Steph, you left me know way to respond to you, you do not have a blog, so I hope you will come back for your answer. No, I did not cover the plastic, it is really not noticed at all in the wedding or pictures. Sorry, I have no fix for you

Hi Carol its me Savanah! The girl that bought your last bouquets! Which I adore :) I just started a blog myself surfaceofsavanah.blogspot.com! Come and follow my page Ill be posting lots of wedding pictures soon :)

Hi, first of all I have to say your bouquet is amazing! And how lovely your dil used it, must be a very proud moment :) I'm planning on making one myself for my own wedding next year and have a couple of questions..Roughly how much material will I needHow did you add the material in between the flowers (could it work with just flowers?)And did you glue the pins down?Tia and thank you for the tutorial, definitely the best I've found.Emily xx

Hi, Emily again.. Just a quick update, I have finally finished my bouquet and am using it at our wedding in October :) I'm so pleased with it, and enjoyed making it with my family; creating memories too!Your tutorial helped so much. Wish I could upload a picture, I will if I figure out how :) x

These are terrific ideas. You are very talented. My mother was like you. Unfortunately, most of her creativeness came from need. One item I remember her making was a coat for one of my younger sisters. Mom had a mink coat that she cut down to fit a kindergartner. Guess in her case necessity was the mother of invention. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
